I have a Python3 program that outputs data daily to a .csv file. This data is just numbers, usually between 10000 and 30000.
I don't read the data very often but having tried to read it today, instead of the file containing numbers using Libre Office on the Pi the system reports: 'The data could not be loaded completely because the maximum number of characters per cell was exceeded'.
In fact it does not display the file at all. I am able to get my program to send just one number (say 2345) to a csv file but instead of reading what I expect, it appears to be saved in what I can only guess is a Chinese or Japanese font.
It always used to work and display perfectly but I have a feeling that this may have happened after an OS upgrade.
(Incidentally, if I copy my .csv file on a USB stick to be displayed on a Windows 10 PC running Excel, the file displays the numbers correctly)
The spreadsheet in Libre Office appears to be defaulted to typeface: Unicode (UTF-16).
Could someone please advise what is the standard UK typeface that should be used and if this can then be set to be the default in Libre Office.
Thank you
